Warp Menu... Help NOW!

[Mom]

Hi!

I'm trying to add many maps to the warp manu but seems limited with 9 choices... as soon as I put LOCALMAP10 = "alk08dm"; I receive the error below... is this normal (9 maps limitation) or am I using a wrong format

C L A N A R E N A X ADMIN TOOL
Reading progs.dat...
Reading user.cfg...
Error: Expected '=' at line 16


//
// Custom maps. Enter the name of the map without the .bsp extension
// (e.g. LOCALMAP0 = "trimp".
// Map names may be up to 15 characters in length.
//
LOCALMAP0 = "150dm3";
LOCALMAP1 = "23ar-a";
LOCALMAP2 = "2pyramid";
LOCALMAP3 = "2towers";
LOCALMAP4 = "3mddm3";
LOCALMAP5 = "a2";
LOCALMAP6 = "ac4";
LOCALMAP7 = "aerowalk";
LOCALMAP8 = "agent";
LOCALMAP9 = "aggressr";
LOCALMAP10 = "alk08dm";

Yesterday I red a post from you where you explained how you managed to add maps to the warp-11 (local server maps).

Can you point me to the post or told me again how you did it (it was a very simple solution which I'd like to use).

Ciao!

You use catools.exe it comes with the CAx mod @ .:: Clan Arena -X- ::.

edit user.cfg ,

edit users.cfg , run catools.exe , then copy and then you must use the progs.dat thats generated from running catools.exe in the cax mod folder

I'd like to preface this with "I don't know wtf I'm talking about"

two possible solutions (in theory)

1) remove the space after 10

LOCALMAP9 = "map"
LOCALMAP10= "map"

or

2) redeclare your list like this:

LOCALMAP00 = "map"
LOCALMAP01 = "map"

I don't expect either of those to work, cause if they did it would mean that the whole thing is a nutty mess to begin with however, nutty messes exist and there is no reason to believe that this definitely isn't one.

I would expect that if any of this works it would be #1. Your error is line 16: no '='. I suspect line 16 is is LOCALMAP10... which is one character longer, placing a space where the equal formerly resided. So it is saying "I found a space instead of an equal and I am going to stop looking now"...or so it would seem.

If I'm right about that. This means whomever wrote the parser for that file needs to learn how to parse delimiters. Saying something like

"move over 10 spaces and find an equal" is horrible parsing. It should be

find next 'LOCALMAP' ... find next ';' - grab info between, remove quotes and spaces, split by '=', grab split[1] ( mapArray.push(split[1]) ). Continue that til there is no more LOCALMAP. this would create an array of map names with the index representing it's X (LOCALMAPX). Actually at that point the numbers are irrelevant, cause it's just ditching them anyway. You could write LOCALMAPA = "map" and the parser wouldn't care.

It would be more efficient to have the file written like this

MAP mymap;
MAP anothermap;

Then you could do everything I said above but completely skip a few steps (like removing quotes and using split() )

mark only 10 maps 0 thru. 9
i should make the entire warp menu customizable so u can have 128 custom maps to use
if u want me to build a hard coded warp menu removing all the silly id maps i can do that in the mean time

@ MadGyver

Ya man there is always a solution... always!! I'll try to play with different formats etc 1st and any other weird ideas that might work.


@ R00k

128 is not enough... I'm going to think what I would like and come back to you.

But R00k could you tell me if the Rcon was publicaly available (ya the rcon access/password) and if the people would simply use it... would it be a REAL security issues (real like REAL... I don't care someone erases files etc etc... there is always a backup).

I'm going to check that later...

Mark, rcon is admin of admins. Keep it to yourself, theres a lot one can do with rcon to fuck a server up

Well I know this is a weird idea but what could go wrong with that very limited set of commands anyway:

rcon "command"

altsoff
altson
armordropoff
armordropon
armoroff
armoron
backpacksoff
backpackson
changelevel "map"
classicmegaoff
classicmegaon
faststartoff

runesoff

I can't remember the source of this... if I remember it was a post from Baker.

You guys know any other "rcon" commands available???


P.S.

The source of these commands are from Peg

[R00k]

those commands are mod specific.
Most of those dont work in CAx.

Basically...
give
god
noclip
etc are built into the engine
all the CAx commands in cax.cfg are valid thru the rcon.
rcon = remote console.
ANY CONSOLE COMMAND WORKS WITH RCON
So, it's the same as having a file with those commands.
Or typing them in the console on the server.

ban command is also valid
map xyz will stall your server cause it cant find map 'xyz'...
so is QUIT, so one could turn OFF your server!

Hi!

@R00k

Well I'll have to check that... the only problem I see here is that none can restart the server if it goes off (except someone having access to the server via the CP at clanwarz).

So R00k the owner of the server said he wants you to have a full access to speaknow... I said it might not be the best timing since you kind of look in depression these days haha... anyway please check your hotmail account and also see R00k Granted Admin by Mark @ Speaknow.

@ R00k

The other night I had a chat session with R00k and I appreciated to have the occasion + nice words (comments)!!!

So as R00k said he was up to help in many ways and I got a question (from the many things I could ask) concerning access to BigFoot maps.

What about these options below I've red if I remember that this is not very hard to set...

To vote for the map, say (press "t" or use "say" in console):*!map greybox_wip01*

I could also ask Polarite he could very possibly know the answer.
